Forums - Website Topics - Found something very offensive on Vgchartz

At least in America it's no different than blonde.

since always. Ginger has been a hair colour in many countries for decades (at least the 40 years I have been alive). Whether you are called a red head or ginger tends to differ by region of a country/world you live in.

you were very offended by the word ginger? really? you know, the word that means that somebody has red hair. that word offended you greatly?

people get offended from anything these days.

No, it's a derogatory word for red heads, such as the N word is for black people.

It's not the actual definition, and either the staff at vgchartz don't know that, or they are predujice.



Weird. On another forum that I browse alot (not gaming related) a user was complaining pretty much for the same thing today (being called Ginger).

But yeah I find odd how this site is moderated. You can call someone else stupid and you probably won't get banned. Yet, somehow, calling someone else a fanboy is a bannable offense. I don't see anything offensive about the fanboy word.

But the word is slang, it's not the actual defintion, which is why vgchartz is incorrect on this case, i have been to many sites, and this is the only one to claim red heads as ginger.

I've don't know every red head on this planet but I've never seen any of them get offended by being called ginger.

But that's just me.

Exactly, the site is soo harsh on the rules, and won't bend them for anybody, yet they let this slide?

I bet you, if i called someone a ginger, i would get banned.

Man... This is a catastrophe... This whole site should be taken down and every user should be sent to jail cause they didn't have your hair color correct....

ginger is actually the correct coloring. No one as red hair. It would be like calling blonde yellow head
